COMPUTER WORLD NEVER CHANGES

                                    The Evolution of Phishing Attacks

     Phishing has evolved far beyond basic email scams. Modern phishing techniques include:

•  Spear Phishing: Highly targeted attacks using personalized information.

• Vishing: Voice phishing using phone calls.

• Smishing: SMS-based phishing attacks. Hackers are using AI to craft highly convincing messages that are difficult to distinguish from legitimate communications.

                         IoT Devices: A New Playground for Hackers

 The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized connectivity but introduced a new layer of vulnerabilities. From smart home devices to industrial IoT systems, hackers are exploiting weak security measures. DDoS attacks on IoT devices are becoming increasingly common, highlighting the need for robust security protocols in IoT networks.

                  Bug Bounty Programs: Empowering Ethical Hackers

 

Many organizations are turning to bug bounty programs to identify and fix vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can exploit them. Platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd are connecting ethical hackers with companies willing to pay for vulnerability reports, creating a win-win situation for both parties.
